While netizens are hooked on the viral trend of transforming personal photos into Studio Ghibli-style art using AI tools, cybersecurity experts caution that while these tools may appear harmless, the terms of services are often vague, raising questions about what happens to user photos after they are processed
What began as a fun experiment with OpenAI's latest image generation tool, which lets users transform their photos into dreamy Ghibli-style illustrations, has occasionally led to awkward and unexpected results when the AI misinterprets the details.
On March 25, OpenAI introduced its newest AI-powered image generator, integrated with ChatGPT's GPT-4o model. This feature allows users to refine images iteratively and maintain consistency across multiple edits.
The word "Ghibli" comes from a Libyan Arabic term for a hot desert wind. This viral trend involves giving popular memes and photos an anime-inspired look.
